MAP NEW YORK YACHT CLUB COURSE.
Fort WADswoRTH, Sept. % For weeks
the one leading event of interest to the
yaching fraternity of the two leading ma
Jions has been the great international yacht
race, when the champion American sloop
Volunteer would meet the Scotch cutter
Thistle and battle to defend the trophy so
dear to the hearts of Americans Thirty
six years ago a regatta under the auspices
of the Royal Yacht squadron was sailed at
Cowes, and entered against the flower of the
English feet was schooner bearing the
name Of the country whence she came At
half past o'clock on the afternoon of
August %, 1851, this yacht passed Cowes
castle so far ahead Of the others that no
other contestant was even visible
For the seventh time a British yacht has
challenged in hopes of carrying back to
England the symbol which represents the
yachting supremacy of the world, and
which has been so gallantly upheld by this
country. The contests thus far have all been
narrowed down to the great branches of the
Anglo-Saxon race, no other nation having
had the temerity to enter the arena Of
friendly competition.
At last the day for one Of the great races

but little wind--about four miles an hour
from the north 'There will be no race"
was an expression heard on all Sides
The harbor in the vicinity of Bay Ridge
presented lively scene at an early hour.
Crafts Of all descriptions were there assem-
bled Those propelled by steam darted
hither and thither, while the respective
crews of the fleet of white winged yachts at
anchor mrde hurried preparations to follow
the racers over the course
On board the two crafts in whom the in
terests of the yachting fraternities of two
Nations is centered, their crews were busily
putting everything in shape and adding the
finishing touches here and there AS the
morning wore on the haze gradually lifted,
but the wind did not increase.
The course was over the regular course Of
the New York Yacht club. The start was
from Owls Head, just below Bay Ridge,
and from thence the course lies straight
through the Narrows following the ship
channel to the southwest spit, thence around
the buoys at that point to Buoy 5, or Sandy
Hook, which the yachts must pass on the
outside, the outer mark being Sandy Hook
lightship, from which the yachts returned
over the same course finishing at Buoy Is,
under the bluff off Fort Wadsworth. NM
Some time was spent lettering about the
line, but at 1929 the preparatory gun was
fired, and was followed in ton minutes by
the starting gun.
At 12;84 the Thistle crossed the line, the
Volunteer following at 13:35. Both yachts

to increase her slight lead in the light wind
